Kauai Real Estate 2007 Round Up December 30
Happy New Year! May you all have a wonderful New Years and blessings to you and yours for a fantastic 2008.
*****Me And Mr. Jones*****
What’s in the news? University of Hawaii Warriors in New Orleans! All eyes are on the upcoming New Years Day Sugarbowl game in New Orleans and the man of the hour is June Jones, head coach of the WAC undefeated champions, and I got to meet him! For a surprise under our Xmas tree for my husband I quietly went down to Kukui Grove Shopping Mall and had Mr. Jones autograph the book “Hawai’i Warrior Football” of which he wrote the forward, my husband was surprised to get it! Pictures Plus was the last stop on his Kauai autograph tour and it was mobbed with people wanting to shake the hand of our beloved coach. There have been travel packages to New Orleans offered by Hawaiian Airlines and any tickets that come available to the BIG game are snatched up quickly. Colt Brennan, lead quarterback, went on the news to say he promises a game the likes of which you have never seen. Colt states there will be hair flying out from under helmets, Hawaiian chants and moves that have not been seen before. Win or lose, Colt says, your in for a good game. Go Warriors!
*****Poipu Gets A Starbucks!*****
We’ve hit the big time! Set to open after the New Year in the Poipu Shopping Village (where Overboard used to be) is Kauai’s third Starbucks. You will now be able to get your favorite latte without having to drive to Lihue or Kapaa.
****Superferry No Go For Fourth Straight Day****
High seas have left the Superferry sitting in the docks of Oahu for the fourth straight day. Passengers who were stranded with their cars on Maui were given transportation back home and their cars shipped separately. The service is to resume today (Sunday) with an adjusted schedule.
*****Koloa Town Monkeypod Trees****
A nighttime vigil was held on Saturday night to get the word out to save the Monkeypod trees that line Koloa Road. The vigil kept growing as the night went on and many onlookers honked their horns in support getting huge cheers from the candle holding protestors.
